how to calculate size of cable from motor current given and
how to calculate full load current of a induction motor.
Answer Posted / raviteja vaka
First the simple one: IM Full Load Current
I=W/root(3)*V(L-L)*PF*Efficiency of Motor
PF and Efficiency will be available from name plate data of
IM. In general u can consider PF=0.8 and Efficiency=0.85
Ex: FLC of 37 KW motor having 415V, 0.8 pf and efficiency as
0.85
I= 37000/Root(3)*1.732*0.8*0.85
I=75A
For calculating the cable size they are many factors to be
considered
* Load Current
* Voltage Level
* Length
* Voltage Drop
* Temperature Factor
* Grouping Factor

We have drive feeding an output contactor for a 5000 hp motor @ 5kV application. The motor FLA is 629amps x 1.25% service factor = 786.25 amps The cable that we current have in place between the drive and the output contactor is 350kcmil- MV-105 (parallel cables). Per the NEC table 310.60 (C) (69). This show the cable ampacity is at 615 amps per cable for a rating of 1230 amps. We have derated the cable for the cable tray and the multiple cables application and our calculations show that after the correction factor factor we are at 922amps. 1230 amps x .75% correction factor factor = 922.5 amps. The customer is driving us to then use another safety factor of .25% off of the already derated cable. Can you please provide a longhand calculation for your solution on this application?
